success There was no particular news re-

by tn bears for their effect upon the market.
A heavy drive was made at coal stocks in the

strike OF the coal beavers at this port. At the

given TO prices by the advocates OF higher

and some selling was INDUCED in by the

KIDD's SENTENCE COMM rED.
To he Confined I'm Jail Instead OF the
Penitenfiary.

Governor Lee yesterday commuted
the sentence of Lewis Z. Kidd, who
was convicted in the Hastings Court OF
Manchester of feloniously shooting
Thomas Calligan, and sentenced TO one
years confinement in the penitentiary
to confinement in the jail of that city
for the same period of time.
The petition asking for the commu-
tation of sentence was signed by all OF
the Jurors, most Of the Manchester ofli-
GERS, including the Mayor, and many
prominent citizens.
After carefully considering the mat
ter, and before deciding, the Governor
on Wednesday directed his Secretary,
Mr.. Waller, to address letter to Judge
Ingram asking his views in regard TO
the case. Yesterday morning he re-
ceiyed the following reply;
81 received to-day communication
from you, through your secretary,
asking my opinion in regard to the
commutation of the sentence of Lewis
p. Kidd, sentenced in my court TO con-
finement in the penitentiary for unlaw-
full shooting. In my opinion the ends
of Justice will be met in this case by
communication from confinement in the
penitentiary TO imprisonment IN the
city Jail.
A letter was also received from Hon.
George d. Wise in Washington, saying
that he was present when most of the
testimony was heard, but left before the
conclusion of the trial to attend con-
gressonal business; that he felt sure
from the evidence adduced that the YER
diet would be acquittal or very light
punishment.
Mr.. Wise spoke in high terms of
Kidd, whom he referred to as an intel
gent and honorable young man.
Sergeant Fitzgerald had made all ar
rangements to take Kidd to the peni-
tentiary yesterday afternoon, when at
noon he received the certificate of
commutation.
The prisoner has always borne good
character as a quiet, peaceable, and
honorable young man. He has young
wife and child. The former and his
mother have been especially grieyed over
the affair, and all friends of both par
ties deeply regret it.

TAXED TOO HIGH. THEY SAY.
The Union Passenger Railway COti-
pnny and street Franchise.

A representative of the Union pas
songer railway was asked yesterday
"Will your company accept the propo-
sition Of the Council committee?"
"No," he said.
"And why not?"
"Because we could not live under
such taxes"
"What will you do? "
1--WE will go to the City Council"
"And if they refuse to abate the taxes,
what them"
"Why, we cannot build; that's all.
But we do not believe that the Council
will refuse us. After they hear our
statements they must be satisfied that
the taxes as fixed by the committee
amount to Il prohibition of our enter
prise"
"Well, how much can you pay?"
THAT we are willing to leave to the
Judgment of any three disinterested
businessmen of the city. We stated
in our answer what we consider high
figures. There's no use expecting to
levy such tax here as is required for
park purposes in Baltimore. Baltimore
has an immensely larger population
than Richmond, and being free of hills,
cars can be run there very much cheap
er than here. We have taken Church
Hill into our route, and it will be a
great many years--as We are told-be-
fore that part of the line will be pro-
ductive. No, we can't pay theproposed
taxes. We will pay liberal taxes-as
heavy as we can stand-and if the
Council do not see the thing as we do,
why we will have to give up our enter
prise. that's all. !"

EXTRA-SESSI0N TALK
PROS AHD CONS or THE POLITICAL
sITuArIoN IN VIRGINIA.
Probability Of the General Assembly Hest
ing Here Some Tine in
March.

An extra session of the General As
sembly is more and more discussed
Judging from letters received here
members generally and great mum
bers Of other prominent men favor
it. They want the Governor TO call
it, and to call il quickly--not later, at
furthest, than the 18th Of March.
The codification Of the laws is nearly
complete. The explanatory report can
be hurried up. After all, the detailed
explanations OF changes will have
to be made in person by the revisersts
the committees of the two houses
A decision Of the Supreme Court OF
the United States in the Fitzgerald
h0bsds-corpus case will not be rendered
much, il any, before March the 18th,
but the cOncensus OF opinion rs that
whether ii is decided for or against us
the extra session viii be necessary all
the same. That case refers to tho
license taxes, but not only license, but
land and all other taxes are threatened
10y the coupon-tenderers.
1t is believed in well-informed guar
ters that il the General Assembly Is
called for the 18th or Goth OF March,
before that time practical and effective
measure of relief will have been framed
ready for Legislative action-a remedy,
too, which will meet the exigency OF
the present, which no constitutional
o,oonlpont aan do
The situation is not helped, but
rather hindered, by the fact that In
May all county and district officers are
TO be elected, and Republicans and In
dependents who want Office are not
slow TO ascribe ~ Democratic incom-
potency" failure 10 secure peace to the
people from debt agitation.
1t is very probable, as now appears,
that the two houses OF the General As
sembly will have 10 be called Ia meet
here in extra session in March. II 30
they will be expected to dispose Of the
new Code, of Gebt legislation and
some other matters Of public interest.

adjourned made brief talk, in which
he spoke of the encouraging outlook
and the good already accomplished by
the Assembly.
Mr.. Grattan offered resolution,
which was adopted, providing that the
matter of the dissemination Of the plat
form and proceedings of the Assembly
at this session be referred to the execu-
tive committee, which should by cor
respondence or otherwise ascertain the
number of copies OF the Home and
Farm in which the platform and pro
ceedings are published that will be
taken in any locality, &C., and that the
distribution of these papers be referred
to the Executive Committee.
AT II o'clock the Assembly, adjourned
sine die.
A meeting Of the Executive Commit
tee was held Immediately after the all
iournment of the Assembly, at which
il was determined to purchase 1000
copies of the paper with the money
which had been contributed for this
purpose, which will be distributed ac-
cording to q scale arranged by the
committee.
Delegates to the next Assembly will
be elected in all of the counties OF the
State at the July courts.
